Owen had given Sairus the slip. Grinning to himself Owen imagined the annoyed look on the lynx’s face when he realized that Owen had left the hotel to do who knows what while Sai napped. He’d use the map software on his phone to locate the One Night Stand and memorized the directions. Sai would also be annoyed to find out that unless he took a cab he’d be stranded at the hotel. Because Owen had taken the Corvette too. The small car was easy to maneuver through the traffic and Owen enjoyed the task it busied his nervous mind with something he was good at visualizing objects in space and maneuvering them.
He parallel parked on a side street and loaded the parking meter. He walked the rest of the way, hands in the pockets of his olive green bomber jacket over a plain grey t-shirt. The jacket announced himself by the old title embroidered on a patch on the left breast: Lieutenant General Owen Renly Hart. There were colorful patch embellishments down the left shoulder: The Covenant seal, the Special Reconnaissance Corps’ seal, and the seal of Central Command. Several more patches were on the right shoulder signifying decorations of a military career over.
Owen stalled outside the One Night Stand, hand in pocket, jingling the left over quarters from the meter. He’d only come to scope out the place. To question the bar keep, assess the clientele, maybe order a drink. He wouldn’t be long. He probably wouldn’t see her. It would be fine.
With a resigned sigh he pushed open the door, his heart was beating fast. It wasn’t like he expected to see her there. He’d come early. He glanced around, the bar was essentially empty. Save for the woman with some overwhelming color of hair fumbling loudly with a vending machine.
“Here, sweetheart.” Owen pulled the quarters out of his pocket and funneled them one by one into the slot until it registered the amount the machine required. “You’re welcome, by the way.” He said as the last quarter fell through. “Now tell me, what all does it take to get your hair that particular shade?” His eyebrow arched playfully as grey eyes swept over her pony tail.

Bitch, I'm limited edition.
